What antennas are recommended for novices who are new to traversing machines?
In recent years, FPV Drone has become a hot topic due to its high-speed flight and immersive experience. For novices, choosing the right antenna is the key to improving your flying experience. This article will combine the popular discussions on the entire network in the past 10 days, recommend suitable antenna types for novices, and provide structured data comparison.
1. The core role of the traversing machine antenna

The antenna is the core component of the video transmission system, which directly affects signal stability and transmission distance. Newbies often suffer from screen freezes or loss of control due to improper antenna selection, so they need to focus on antenna performance.
2. Recommended antenna types for novices
According to recent forum and e-commerce platform data, the following three types of antennas are most popular among novices:
| Antenna type | Advantages | Disadvantages | Applicable scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rod Antenna (Dipole) | Low price and strong durability | Signal coverage is small | Close flight (<1km) |
| Mushroom Antenna (Circular Polarized) | Strong anti-interference and stable signal | Larger in size | Flying in complex environments (such as woods, buildings) |
| Flat panel antenna (Patch) | Long distance transmission (>3km) | High directionality requirements | Racing or long distance flight |
3. Ranking of popular antenna models in 2024
Combining e-commerce sales and user reviews, the following are the most popular antenna models in recent times:
| Ranking | Model | Frequency | price range | Positive rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Foxeer Lollipop 3 | 5.8GHz | ¥80-120 | 96% |
| 2 | TBS Triumph Pro | 5.8GHz | ¥150-200 | 94% |
| 3 | VAS Mad Mushroom | 5.8GHz | ¥60-90 | 92% |
4. Buying advice for novices
1.Budget first: For your first try, you can choose a rod or mushroom antenna within a hundred yuan;
2.frequency matching: Make sure the frequency of the antenna and the image transmission module are consistent (commonly 5.8GHz);
3.Installation method: Pay attention to the antenna interface type (such as SMA/RP-SMA);
4.environment adaptation: Mushroom antennas are recommended for urban flights, and flat-panel antennas can be considered for open areas.
5. Relevance of recent hot topics
1. The "antenna meltdown" issue hotly discussed on Reddit: novices are reminded to avoid long-term high-power operation;
2. The actual measurement of the UP master of domestic station B shows that the performance of the mushroom antenna drops by about 15% in rainy days;
3. Latest technology trends: Some manufacturers have begun to launch dual-band (2.4G/5.8G) hybrid antennas.
Summary
For newcomers to the traversing machine,Foxeer Lollipop 3orVAS Mad MushroomIt is a cost-effective choice. With the development of technology, it is recommended to continue to pay attention to the application of new materials (such as ceramic media) in the field of antennas. Remember: A good antenna configuration can improve the FPV flight experience by more than 50%!
